Don't forget that we are also out to take school lunches away from the children and to take prescription drugs away from the elderly.

It was a Hollywood conceit that "Being There," the Peter Sellers film about a retarded recluse who is taken for a mystical genius and becomes president, was a metaphor for Reagan.

Nit-pick of the day: Sellers' Chauncy Gardener became the advisor to the president, not the president.

Judging by their wild and crazy reaction to their defeat on November 5, one can only conclude that this election has left liberal elites further out of touch with reality than at any time in recent memory. As a former psychiatrist, I can confidently predict that logic and empirical evidence will have no therapeutic effect.

But the left 'know' in their heart they actually won. Another election was stolen from them by fraudulent voting machines, illegal voting via absentee ballots, the murder of a Senator, suspicious cover-up of VNS exit polling data, the vast right-wing media including CNN.....It was stolen, I tell ya.

[JoeSixPack1]

Well, he was pretty close to trashin' everybody.

But then he calmed down in the later paragraphs and managed to not say anything at all.

He did remind us all he used to be a psychiatrist, and that was the only fact worth noting but he placed that item as historical data so that was nothing also.

And dont forget Big Bird. The RATZ said he was targeted for assination years ago. I wonder if they will complain about that again, or just the fact that we havent "found" him yet.

Pinging the Krauthammer list.

I was reading as your were pinging. CK is right. The Dims live in a fantasy world. They are onanistic and self-referential, seeing only what may validate their worldview, and are totally bewildered by reality.

I don't understand?

[eddie willers]

experience over hope, the very definition of conservatism.

I love it.
Short, sweet, and spot on!

"If you like God in government, get ready for the Rapture," warned Bill Moyers"

What a punk!

[Ukiapah Heep]

9/11 did shake out quite a few of the liberals and it was about time. Those who remain are going to be uncomfortable contenting with their America hating, Jew hating, Christian hating brethren. I know a lot of them and they are going to be "torn" and have "angst". This is too bad for them, but it is, after all, their "choice".

What...??? What...??? D'you mean we're still allowing babies to wear diapers???

Yikes!!! This insane pee-sopping nonsense has got to STOP... NOW !!! ;-))

[bulldogs]

Ever notice how democratic males are so feminine in thier thinking. I am sick of these limp-wristed, anti-American, change thier position to fit the vote, abortionists, communists, and a few other things I won't mention. I hope their is enough men in our country to protect it from this evil. Not only are we fighting Islamic terror, we have to fight these scum too.

It was a Hollywood conceit that "Being There," the Peter Sellers
film about a retarded recluse who is taken for a mystical
genius and becomes president, was a metaphor for Reagan.

Nit-pick of the day: Sellers' Chauncy Gardener became the advisor to the president, not the president.

Also, the movie was based on a 1971 Kosinski book.  So any metaphor
for Reagan was not only a Hollywood conceit, but to the extent it
existed at all, their own creation.
